I saw this on Ebay. French Connection II, on 7 reels in one box, black and white? Huh?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=63821&item=6313069526&rd=1

Can anyone explain this to me? I never knew they made a digest on 7 reels.

I don't know this copy. The original is a John Frankenheimer color film.
Probably this is a cheap super 8 print!

What will they mean by 7 reels?
7 spools?
Could it mean the complete film but it says digest.

Uusually when 7 is mentioned they mean 7" reel so possibly the 400 digest, will nip and see the add, was there a picky, should have looked first really.

Had a peep, thought so its the digest.

The bidding is at over $100. I bet the high bidder thinks he is getting the full film. Unless of course there is a big demand for black and white silent digests of films!
Is there? [Smile]
